What is the primary function of the electronic stamping device for remote online notaries?

The primary function of the electronic stamping device for remote online notaries is to attach the notary's electronic signature and seal to documents. This electronic seal serves as a digital counterpart to the physical notary seal used in traditional notarization, ensuring that the document is officially notarized. The use of an electronic stamp signifies that the notary has verified the identity of the individual signing the document and has followed the necessary procedures to complete the notarization.

This electronic representation of the notary's seal and signature is crucial for the legal validity of documents executed remotely, as it provides a layer of authenticity and prevents fraud. When a document is electronically notarized, the stamp helps create a tamper-evident record, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the notarization process.
